I've been told that the approach below will not work.
I would be interested if someone could help me to understand what will go wrong.
Let:
$$\psi(x) = \sum\limits_{p^k \le x} \ln p$$
So that (see here):
$$\ln(x!) = \sum_{k=1}\psi(\frac{x}{k})$$
So that:
$$\ln(x!) - \ln\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{2}\right\rfloor!\right)- \ln\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{3}\right\rfloor!\right)- \ln\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{6}\right\rfloor!\right) = $$
$$\psi(x) + \psi\left(\frac{x}{5}\right) - 2\psi\left(\frac{x}{6}\right) + \ldots + \psi\left(\frac{x}{6w-5}\right) + \psi\left(\frac{x}{6w-1}\right) - 2\psi\left(\frac{x}{6w}\right) + \ldots$$
So, for each $w > 1$, it follows that:
$$\psi\left(\frac{x}{6w-5}\right) + \psi\left(\frac{x}{6w-1}\right) \ge 2\psi\left(\frac{x}{6w}\right)$$
So, if there exists $k$ such that:
$$\sum_{w=2}^{k} \psi\left(\frac{x}{6w-5}\right) + \psi\left(\frac{x}{6w-1}\right) - 2\psi\left(\frac{x}{6w}\right) \ge 2\psi\left(\frac{x}{6}\right) - \psi\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)$$
Then it follows that:
$$\ln(x!) - \ln\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{2}\right\rfloor!\right)- \ln\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{3}\right\rfloor!\right)- \ln\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{6}\right\rfloor!\right) - \psi(x) \ge 0$$
What will be the problem with this approach? Am I making a mistake in any of my steps?
Thanks,
